cnn polls missouri, arizona, and indiana. the cnn orc poll shows the country is deeply divided in the supreme court's ruling to uphold health care. >> okay. mitt romney plans to visit israel later this summer but we want to talk about the numbers. what is going on with two different polls? >> it's like a bet at the horse race. as you said, if you include missouri, indiana, and arizona, you will jack up the numbers. that's a real danger for him. hard to go from 45 to get to 50 and the president will need about 50% to win the election. today they are pretty close. but again, it's less who is behind because you got a margin of error than it is the president being short. >> especially when you consider the undecideds in a race like this will typically break. so if there are some real undecided and you assume some of these close states that people are undecided right up until the election, they will probably break for the challenger. >> coming up, the busy trap. why so many of us complain about being crazy busy every day and why i

one, two days ago the cnn poll had romney up in battleground states. these are snapshots of minutes apparently. and secondly, you know, i think romney -- >> depends on the time of day. >> it does. where the sun hits the horizon. it's up to romney to go into these states where employment is better than theational average and say, these are not because of the president's policies. if they were, you would make the natural conclusion that unemployment would be down everywhere. it's a hard sell. but that's what he is challenged to do in these states. >> governor dean, in ohio there's plenty of evidence that e president's policy with the auto bailout in particular has something to do with that. >> that's another huge problem in is the problem. santorum may have been right. he's probably the worst candidate of the field. even though he's the best organized and probably the most capable, he's probably the worst candidate in the field because when you go we -- if you need to win michigan and ohio and pennsylvania in order to win the presidency, and he has to wi

and even wolf blitzer himself came out, which cnn doesn't usually do that, this is blatantly false, mitt romney was called at the last second to try to save the olympics being held in the united states of america, he left very quickly and he thought he might come back but he just never came back. >> maybe give the money back. >> what do you make of that retroactively retired argument? >> i'd like to retroactively retire. but, you know, i think that, joe, i understand what wolf said the other day but let's remember these reports aren't coming from us. they're coming from the press. the press is the place where this stuff is getting reported. we might highlight it but the press is reporting this information about mitt romney's involvement with bain. but again, i find this whole discussion about when exactly he left bain to be ironic. there's plenty to talk about the years he was at bain and when he was at the olympics. he shared in the profits, continues to share in the profits, took down a salary, invested in companies before he left bain and made -- invested in the companies, that "the w
